According to TMZ, Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk drove his truck into an Illinois cornfield and was arrested for DUI last night.

The New Lenox Police Department received a call at 7:20 last night about a vehicle in the middle of a cornfield. When the police arrived at the scene, they found Fisk behind the wheel of his Ford F-150 passed out with an open bottle of vodka inside the truck. Police also say that the truck had a flat tire.

Police say that Fisk refused a sobriety test and was taken to a hospital for a checkup. Fisk was released this morning.

Fisk's arrest comes just days before the 37th anniversary of perhaps his most famous moment, his walkoff home run to win Game 6 of the 1975 World Series against the World Series. Except the this time, the truck went way foul.

A scary moment at the Rogers Centre tonight when a fan is believed to have suffered a heart attack while sitting in the front row of the Blue Jays-White Sox game.

The game was in the seventh inning when play was halted for four minutes while emergency personnel could reach the fan.

CPR was performed on the individual before play was even stopped. The fan was placed onto a stretcher and carted off the field.

Blue Jays announcer Mike Wilner noticed that chest compressions were used, tweeting, "Scary stuff here at Rogers Centre - I've never had to call play by play of chest compressions before. Say a prayer for that fan. #Bluejays"

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin confirmed to USA Today that the Brewers will indeed trade Greinke before the trade deadline.

The Brewers are in the midst of a disappointing season and are looking to sell after being swept by both the Cincinnati reds and Philadelphia Phillies.

Greinke and the Brewers have not had contract negotiations since Spring Training and he informed the team that he intends to test the free agency waters at the conclusion of this season.

"I don't think Zack is about the money personally,'' Melvin said. "You get a young guy that's [28], and in my conversations with him, you get a chance to be a free agent one time. You've got to look at that opportunity."

There are concerns that Greinke might not perform well in a big market due to his social anxiety disorder that kept him out most of the 2006 season in Kansas City. He was not shown any signs of relapse or attacks since.

"He's been in a small market here. A small market in Kansas City. He's always said he enjoyed it, but he wants to take a look at everything out there.'' Melvin said.

Greinke is having a great year so far with a record of 9-3 and an ERA of 3.44. The Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Washington Nationals, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are all interested in the 28 year old ace.

The Brewers are also looking at unloading Aramis Ramirez, Randy Wolf, Corey Hart, Francisco Rodriguez, and George Kottaras, who was just designated for assignment by Milwaukee.

In what was going to be his last All-Star Game, Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones stepped up and spoke to his National League teammates before the game.

Chipper, in his first game ever at Kauffman Stadium, was asked by NL manager and former St. Louis Cardinals skipper Tony LaRussa to address the team.

Chipper quoted the great Lou Brown from "Major League" by saying, "We've won two. Win three, and that's a winning streak. We have an opportunity to do that tonight. And I am not going out losing my last one. So, you with me?"

Chipper and the NL team did just that by taking this year's edition of the MLB All-Star Game 8-0.

Jones, in his last ever All-Star at bat, singled against Chicago White Sox pitcher Chris Sale.

"Yeah, I was thinking beat it out all the way," Jones said. "At 40 years old, legging out a hit in the All-Star Game. That's exactly how I scripted it."

Kevin Youkilis didn't have exactly the best of debuts with the White Sox last night, going 1-4 in a loss to the Minnesota Twins.

The lineup card at the beginning of the game should have been an omen.

The White Sox spelled Kevin Youkilis' last name as "Youklis". The White Sox however got the name on his jersey correct and even got his old number 20 back from outfielder Jordan Danks. Danks was told after the Youkilis trade that, "you're not 20 anymore."

President Barack Obama was in Boston for a fundraiser at Smyphony Hall on Monday and towards the end of his speech he decided to thank the Red Sox for trading Kevin Youkilis to his beloved Chicao White Sox.

The Chicago White Sox acquired third baseman Kevin Youkilis from the Red Sox yesterday for utility player Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart. It looks like a pretty good trade for the White Sox. They get an All Star player for next to nothing.

However, one young fan was crushed after learning that his favorite player, Brent Lillibridge, was included in the trade.

Hey, little man, Youk is a pretty good player, he's better than Lillibridge. I'm sure you'll like him just fine.

The Red Sox have traded third baseman Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Zach Stewart and a utility player.

The trade is expected to be made official after the White Sox game with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Youkilis was taken out of the game in the 7th inning of the Red Sox win against the Atlanta Braves after he hit an RBI triple. Manager Bobby Valentine said during the postgame press conference that Youkilis was lifted for a pinch runner because GM Ben Cherington told him "there's a situation pending"

Zach Stewart is 1-2 with an ERA of 6.00 with the White Sox this season. Stewart is 3-8 with an ERA of 5.92 in his career with the White Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays.

We continue our look into the 2012 MLB season. Yesterday, we predicted the AL East, today, we take a peek at the AL Central. Can the Tigers repeat? How will the White Sox fare without Ozzie? Can Morneau and Mauer bounce back after down years? We'll try to answer these questions and more, so stay tuned and you might just learn something.

1st- Detroit Tigers

The Tigers made a surprise splash this offseason by signing Prince Fielder to a long term deal. Even before the signing I thought the Tigers would repeat, but now I think hey are a legit contender for the AL pennant.

The team suffered a major blow earlier in the offseason when Victor Martinez blew out his knee and is most likely out for the year. So the Tigers do the next best thing. Sign Prince Fielder. Fielder is an upgrade from Martinez, so the Tigers need not worry anymore.

The Tigers still have Miguel Cabrera and when you combine him with Fielder, the Tigers might have the best one-two punch in, not only the AL, but the Majors.

Justin Verlander should continue to keep his crown for best pitcher in baseball and could very well win another Cy Young. Jose Valverde will still be the Tigers closer and probably won't have the perfect season he had last year, but still a very good one.

2nd- Cleveland Indians

Indians fans, you are almost there. Almost.

The Indians will be a better team this year, that's for certain, but the Indians have a lack of starters that could hinder the Tribe's chances.

Outside of Ubaldo Jimenez, the Indians don't have much depth in starting. They signed Derek Lowe, in the twilight of his career, and Justin Masterson has a chance to become a good, solid starter. After those three, it gets shaky. Real shaky.

The offense is good enough to overcome poor pitching on most nights. Carlos Santana and Asdrubal Cabrera are the RBI machines for the Indians and if Grady Sizemore comes back and can play like we all know he can, this offense can be the saving grace of this team.

3rd- Minnesota Twins

Last season, every that went wrong for the Twins, did.

Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau battled injury problems for most of the season. The pitching was absolutely dreadful. Finished dead last in the Central.

Joe Mauer will have a solid year, but I fear will not be the same player he once was. When you are this young and play catcher, injury problems will only get worse down the road. Justin Morneau is worried that his concussion problems will end his career early, but hasn't had any problems this spring. If Morneau can stay healthy, the Twins will not finish in the basement again.

The pitching is the one thing that will cripple the Twins. The bullpen is shaky at best and now they don't have Joe Nathan to close games. Francisco Liriano as the Twins number one starter is not a good sign for the Twins.

4th- Kansas City Royals

The Royals have a good base of young players that remind me of the 2009 Tampa Bay Rays.

Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas are the future of the Royals team. Alex Gordon finally broke through and became the star of the Royals. The team has a nucleus of young players that could help them compete for years to come, but...

The pitching is the weakest link of this team. Bruce Chen is the ace of the Royals. Bruce Chen. He might be the weakest number one starter in the Majors and Jonathan Sanchez is an overrated pitcher that the Giants were lucky to unload for Melky Cabrera. Aaron Crow is a young pitcher with a ton of talent, but he is not there yet.

You will get there, Kansas City, just not for another three seasons or so.

5th- Chicago White Sox

How do you replace the fiery manager that helped the White Sox become relevant again and win an elusive World Series? Hire Robin Ventura, that's what. Ventura was a shocking choice to replace Ozzie Guillen, since he has no managerial experience or even coaching experience for that matter. That hiring might be the worst move of the offseason.

Adam Dunn will still be Adam Dunn. Paul Konerko is only getting older and can't carry this team forever. The pitching is in shambles after Mark Buehrle left town for South Beach and they traded their closer Sergio Santos to the Jays. The returning starters did not post a winning record last season and no one in the bullpen is not capable of closing.

In an interview with ESPN Radio, Miami Marlins and former Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen knew that Adam Dunn was in for a long season from the first day of Spring Training.

Guillen went on to say on ESPN Chicago's Waddle and Silvy Show, “I looked at his swing and I told [bench coach] Joey Cora going home, ‘My God we’ve got a big problem."

The White Sox tried everything to help Dunn find his groove again, but to no avail. “He couldn’t find his stroke, he couldn’t find it,” Guillen went on to say. “He do everything. People in Chicago, believe me, he try everything in his power to get better. We watched the videos, fastball, change up, everything was missing.”

Dunn might have had one of the worst seasons in MLB history, last season. In Dunn's 492 plate appearances, he hit .159, an on base percentage of .292, 11 home runs, and only a paltry 42 RBIs.

Dunn was signed away from the Washington Nationals when he signed a four year, $56 million deal with Chicago, last offseason.

I was on my computer the other night "wanderclicking", the art of starting somewhere on YouTube or Wikipedia and ending in a completely different place, and came across a Coca-Cola commercial celebrating the 1993 World Champion Toronto Blue Jays, with its catchy jingle, and it led me to search out for the finish of the 1993 World Series. I had seen it before, but still is exciting to watch, and I had never noticed it before how Mitch Williams looked so dejected after Joe Carter's home run blast that made him a hero to a nation and Williams a pariah in the worst sports city in America.
Going into the 1993 World Series, Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams had just racked up a career high 43 saves as he helped lead the upstart Philadlephia Phillies to a surprising playoff berth. Williams had an unconventional pitching delivery as he almost fell down every time he threw a ball. It was odd, but it worked.
Joe Carter almost didn't play for the Jays in 1993, Carter was close to a deal with his hometown Kansas City Royals, but opted to re-sign with Toronto. Carter was an All-Star in '93 and tied a career high in RBI's with 121. However, he only hit .254 and his on base percentage was a paltry .312.
The Phillies entered the playoffs as underdogs to the mighty Atlanta Braves. Mitch Williams won Game 1 for the Phillies in relief and saved two games, including the series clinching Game 6 in Philadelphia. The Phillies had stunned the Atlanta Braves and were on their way to the World Series.
The Blue Jays faced the Chicago White Sox for the American League pennant a second straight year. The Jays eventually prevailed over the White Sox as Joe Carter caught the final out. Carter was pretty much a non-factor in the series, only driving in two runs and hitting .259.
The Blue Jays and Phillies were now to square off for the 1993 World Series. The series went back and forth through the first three games with Toronto winning Games 1 and 3 and the Phillies winning Game 2.
Game 4 was the beginning of the end for Mitch Williams. The game was full of offense with seven combined runs scored in the first inning and Philadelphia took a 14-9 lead heading into the eighth inning. Phillies manager Jim Fregosi put Williams into the game to relieve pitcher Larry Andersen and promptly gave up three runs as the Jays took a 15-14 lead that they never relinquished. Williams was the losing pitcher of that game and had received death threats phoned into Veterans Stadium. Williams, however, was not aware of the threats until Game 5.
After the Phillies shutout the Jays in Game 5, they headed North of the Border for Game 6. The Phillies took a 6-5 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth and looked like they were going to force Game 7. Williams took the mound to save the game, his first appearance since his Game 4 debacle and the notification of death threats.
Williams walked Rickey Henderson to start the inning and because of that Williams tried to counter Henderson's speed by using a side step delivery that cut down his velocity. After Devon White flied out, Paul Molitor singled to center and moved Henderson to second. Up to the plate stepped Joe Carter. Carter, who was unproductive in the World Series at this point, was 0-4 in his career versus Williams. Williams worked Carter to a 2-2 count when Carter took Williams' next pitch into the left field seats for an 8-6 win and the Jays' second World Series title.
With one swing of the bat Carter became a hero in Canada. His exuberant jumping up and down while running the bases is an iconic photo in baseball and made many memories for the province of Ontario and all of Canada. Carter became a Blue Jays legend after that, staying until 1997 and was inducted into the Blue Jays Level of Excellence at Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome. Carter was also inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame for his years with Toronto and the walk off home run.
Mitch Williams would never pitch for the Phillies after 1993. The Phillies traded him to the Houston Astros prior to the start of the 1994 season. Williams would only save six games for the Astros and bounced around from the California Angels to the Kansas City Royals after leaving Houston. He would never be the same pitcher again. Williams retired after the 1997 season after an uneventful season in Kansas City. Williams has blames himself for the World Series loss, but added that he has gotten past it.
However, he hasn't gotten past Curt Schilling's antics in the '93 Series. Schilling would cover his head in a towel whenever Williams took the mound as Schilling was always a little leery whenever Williams came into the game. Williams was offended by this, as were many of his teammates, and to this day has never forgiven Schilling for it.
You would have to wonder if Williams' career would have been changed had he not given up that home run. Philadelphia probably wouldn't have traded him and he could have been playing for more than just four more seasons. That's how life works out sometimes and you have to roll with the punches. I think Mitch Williams himself said it best when he was talking about his feelings regarding the Carter home run, "Life's a bitch. I could be digging ditches. I'm not."

The Boston Red Sox have announced that they are going to interview three new candidates for the managerial vacancy. The names are Cleveland Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar, Jr., Toronto Blue Jays first base coach Torey Lovullo, and Detroit Tigers third base coach Gene Lamont.

Alomar will be interviewed on Wednesday, Lovullo on Friday, and rounding out the three, Lamont will interview on Saturday.

Alomar will also interview with the Chicago Cubs later in the week.

Lovullo has worked in the Red Sox organization before. Before becoming teh Blue Jays first base coach, Lovullo was the manager of their AAA team, the Pawtucket Red Sox, in 2010 after eight years working within the Indians organization.

Gene Lamont clearly has the most experience out of the three. Lamont has managed in the past for the Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates. He was the 1993 American League Manager of the Year leading the White Sox to a division championship and a 94-68 record. Lamont got the White Sox off to a hot start in 1994 before the strike abruptly ended the '94 season. He last managed in 2000.

Alomar, who just completed his second season with the Indians, became the bench coach for the last game of the 2010 season and is expected to remain in that position presuming Alomar doesn't get any offers.

The New York Yankees are ending their pursuit of free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt after expressing concern about his chronic back issues.

Oswalt has a history of back problems starting when he was with the Houston Astros. He reportedly has two degenerative discs in his lower back and was placed on the disabled list in June with back problems.

The Yankees are very scared of his past back problems leading to one insider saying that's why the Houston Astros traded him. Oswalt was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2010 trade deadline for J.A. Happ and minor leaguers. He has a record of 16-11 during his time in Philadelphia.

The Phillies declined Oswalt's option last week, most likely, because of his chronic back problems and did not want to be stuck with paying him $16 million.

The Yankees are still trying to pursue another starting pitcher this winter and are likely to make a bid for Texas Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle.

With the 2011 Major League Baseball season winding down we are now left to face a long, cold winter. With the long winter comes the MLB Free Agency season and one team in particular, the Boston Red Sox, have some holes to fill and a lot of question marks. Here are just some of the names I believe Ben Cherington and the Red Sox brass should take a look at:

Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle

The Red Sox have a huge need when it comes to starting pitching. John Lackey is very inconsistent and Red Sox Nation's patience has grown thin and Daisuke Matsuzaka probably not coming back, it just makes sense to look at Buehrle. Mark Buehrle has been a consistent pitcher for the Chicago White Sox and has never missed a start since his career began back in 2001. This is in contrast to Lackey, Beckett, Buchholz, and Dice-K who seemingly miss starts. Buehrle is a great southpaw and would give Boston a great 1-2 punch with Jon Lester. Mark Buehrle also is the only pitcher in history to throw multiple no-hitters and win multiple Gold Gloves.

Minnesota Twins RF Jason Kubel

The Red Sox need a right fielder. Bad. J.D. Drew just is cutting it and is likely gone. Jason Kubel seems to be a good fit and would be considerably cheaper than Carl Crawford. Kubel is a left handed bat and, although not a power hitter, would enjoy the confines of Fenway Park. Right field at Fenway is 302 down the line and Kubel could easily increase his home run totals.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jonathan Broxton

The Sox bullpen, while improved from 2010, still needs help. Jonathan Broxton might be that answer. Broxton seemed to have lost his touch in 2011 losing his closer's role, but could help Daniel Bard bridge the gap between starter to Papelbon (or whoever is the closer). If Papelbon leaves town, Broxton could be a closer considering Daniel Bard's breakdown down the stretch and inexperience at closing so you need some veterans in that bullpen. Broxton should be looked at.

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit

Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a better than expected season in Boston, but is he really the answer? Ryan Doumit, while not fantastic behind the plate, could be a great compliment to Salty. Doumit is durable for a catcher too. He has played in right field and first base in the past for the Pirates. Saltalamacchia and Doumit could make a solid catching tandem, not fantastic, but just enough to get by.

Milwaukee Brewers 1B Prince Fielder

This is a long shot, but the Sox could use Fielder if Big Papi leaves. Ortiz has stated that the drama in Boston has gotten to be too much and could leave Boston. That would open the door for Prince Fielder. However, Fielder would almost certainly have to play Designated Hitter with Adrian Gonzalez at first base and being a better defensive player. Fielder is younger than Pujols and will cost less money, but the Sox have that money? I don't think the Red Sox will sign him but they should at least kick the tires.

That is just some of the names I think Boston should go after. Ben Cherington has a tough task in front of him, but I think he will make some good moves and improve from last year. First and foremost, he needs to re-sign Ortiz and Papelbon. If not it will be that much harder to fill those gaps left in their wake.
